Example: Modifying the PostgreSQL Configuration File

  1. Modify the PGROOT and PD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables according to the needs of your build.

    The databases are stored under /global/mnt3/postgres/data.

    The log is stored under /global/mnt3/postgres/logs/sclog.

    phys-schost-1# PG_ROOT=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0
    phys-schost-1# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0/lib \
    phys-schost-1# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib: \ /usr/lib:/opt/csw.lib
    phys-schost-1# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PG_ROOT
  2. Store the pfile in a directory in the zone clu1.

    The configuration file name must be available in the zone.

  3. Copy the PostgreSQL configuration file from the agent directory to its deployment location.
    phys-schost-1# cp /opt/SUNWscPostgreSQL/util/pgs_config /global/mnt3
  4. Add this cluster's information to the configuration file.

    The following listing shows the relevant file entries and the values to assign to each entry.

    .
    .
    .
    RS=RS-PGS RG=RG-PGS PORT=5432 LH=hahostix1 HAS_RS=RS-PGS-HAS PFILE=/global/mnt3/postgres/RS-PGS-pfile
    .
    .
    .
    
    # local zone specific options
    ZONE=clu1 ZONE_BT=RS-PGS-ZONE ZUSER=postgres PROJECT=
    .
    .
    .
    USER=postgres PGROOT=/usr/local/pgsql #PGROOT=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0 PGDATA=/global/mnt3/postgres/data PGPORT=5432 PGHOST= PGLOGFILE=/global/mnt3/postgres/logs/sclog LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib #LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib #LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib ENVSCRIPT= SCDB=sctest SCUSER=scuser SCTABLE=sctable SCPASS=scuser
  5. Save and close the file.
  6. Transfer this configuration file in the zone clu1 under /tmp/pgs_config.
    phys-schost-1# scp /global/mnt3/pgs_config clu1:/tmp
